They say a good name is worth more than silver and gold. As true as this statement is, how about having a good name and living up to the good name by being a good man?
There are some qualities a man would have that will make him stand out. Men with amazing qualities end up being role models and a figure others can look up to.
These are some amazing qualities that will make you a wonderful man indeed:
1. AMBITION
Every man should have a drive, goals, dreams, a vision, purpose and ambitions. It’s all these things that truly define who you are and where you are going.
2. FOCUS
Being an amazing man that will stand out is a good quality but it isn’t something that can be achieved without focus. Have a wonderful dream and vision all you like, but it’ll be impossible to achieve them without focus.
3. HARD WORK AND PERSEVERANCE
I’m yet to see a successful person who has achieved success without hard work. No matter how smart you work, you still can’t have room for laziness. Every man who strives for greatness must be ready to pay the price.
4. BE WORTHY OF TRUST
A man who’s worthy of trust is reliable to a reasonable extent. A great man should keep to his words and be a person of integrity.
5. CONFIDENCE
Confidence is another good quality every man should strive to have. A man that’s full of confidence and has a good self-esteem will always be valued compared to a man who rates himself lowly.
6. COURAGE
Every man ought to be bold and courageous. You’d always be under the shadow when you live in fear and hesitation.
7. A MAN SHOULD BE BALANCED
There should be a balance in a man’s life; he should have time for himself, his goals and vision, his friends, his family and even a quiet time to reflect and meditate.
8. CONTROL
A lot of men these days don’t have self-control. There’s no better person that can control yourself more than you. Having control over certain excesses will make you live life the right way. A man gets drunk because of lack of control, a man hits his wife or cheats on her because of lack of control. Overspending, anger, talking anyhow, disrespect and so many other wrong habits are all evidence of a lack of self-control. At the end of the day, a lack of control will always push you to the wrong decision.
9. POSITIVE ATTITUDE
Having a positive attitude and seeing a reason to be grateful irrespective of what people say, do or think, is a wonderful attitude every man should try to have.
10. WORKS ON HIMSELF
Any man who works on himself — not physical workout, but works on his flaws and keeps improving on himself is a great man. Anyone who can look at himself and try to change certain things in him for the better is one that will go far in life.
Being a real man doesn’t end with the bodily features you have; what you say, the way you think and how you act, defines who you are.
